Preface

The Total Group operates according to international standards of Corporate Ethics in the conduct of its business.

Some of these ethical compasses are progressively being codified into policies to guide and constrain all 'employees' within its work environment.
The word 'employee' in this policy is used as an all embracing term to refer to any and all persons engaged in some form of paid service agreement with the Company, including but not limited to permanent local and expatriate staff of the Company, third party contract staff, supernumerary police and commissionaires, National Youth Service Corps members, whether on long term or short-term assignment with the Company

Even though not all practices can be codified into specific policies, the contents of this brochure which will be periodically updated in response to our operating environment, represent current state of corporate policies on various topics.

To support the specific policies contained in this brochure are the operating procedures that exist in the company's Management Handbook and Total's corporate culture which is deliberately inculcated in new employees during the 2-week Total Together seminar and through the action of managers, mentors and peer-group leaders within the company.

'Employees', suppliers, partners and the general public are invited to please take note of our policies published in this brochure and to comment on them by contacting us through our website : www.ng.total.com
